The 18-cm (7.1-in) blade is in suminagashi with a core in aogami 2, a high-performance non-stainless carbon steel.
It is harder than shirogami because it also contains chrome and tungsten, which also strengthens its resistance to wear.
This blade is easy to sharpen and the edge will become sharper and sharper.
The traditional-style handle is in honoki and real buffalo horn.
Beware: this blade can rust, so it must be well washed and dried after use.
